Trying not to be cynical about Ozempic but when I see an article like this I feel like I'm going to see it again in a documentary a decade from now called like "The Weight" about "what the company knew".
Drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy are not a cure for obesity, or the stigma associated with it, “but, for many millions of people, our post-Ozempic world will be better than the one we lived in before,” Dhruv Khullar writes.
